CREST-accredited cybersecurity firm trusted by enterprises for

ioSENTRIX is an offensive security firm, founded in 2017 and based in Herndon, Virginia. We provide continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), penetration testing, penetration testing as a service (PTaaS), red teaming, application security, AI and LLM security testing, cloud security and vCISO services. Testing is done by hand by certified engineers at a CREST-accredited firm.

CTEM is a continuous program, described by Gartner in five stages: scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation and mobilization. ioSENTRIX runs it as a Continuous Security subscription in which testers confirm exploitability by hand, so your team fixes the exposures an attacker could actually use rather than every scanner alert. See continuous threat exposure management.

A vulnerability scan is automated and lists known weaknesses, often with false positives. A penetration test is carried out by people who exploit and chain weaknesses, including business logic flaws that scanners cannot see, and prove the impact with evidence. Every ioSENTRIX penetration test includes a free retest of your fixes.

PCI DSS v4.0.1 Requirement 11.4 requires internal and external penetration testing at least once every 12 months and after significant changes. SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 do not name penetration testing as a mandatory control, but auditors and customers often ask for one as evidence. Read SOC 2 penetration testing requirements.

PTaaS delivers penetration testing on a platform rather than as a one-off project. Findings appear as testing progresses, sync to Jira, and retests run in the same place, so it suits teams that ship and test often.

Yes. We test chatbots, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and AI agents for prompt injection, data leakage and excessive agency, with findings mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025 and MITRE ATLAS. See AI penetration testing and AI red teaming.

Yes. A red team exercise pursues an objective you agree with us, starting from phishing, exposed services or an assumed breach and, when it is in scope, physical entry such as tailgating, badge cloning and rogue network devices. A red team exercise typically runs 4–6 weeks.

A web application penetration test typically takes 1–2 weeks and a red team exercise typically 4–6 weeks, depending on scope. After a short scoping call you receive a written scope and timeline before testing starts.

We work with banking and fintech, healthcare, SaaS and technology, e-commerce and retail, energy, and gaming companies. Results are mapped to the frameworks you report against, including SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS and HIPAA.

Yes. The report summarizes scope, method and results for executives and auditors, and gives engineers the technical detail and fix for each finding. It comes from a CREST-accredited firm that is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2 attested.
